If anybody ever wrote a Broadway musical about big-league managers, the title would be a natural: "Get Me To The Closer On Time."The way baseball is played today, every team and manager is dependent on one pitcher who can get three outs and preserve a lead. As our good friend, the late Charley Eckman, used to say, "It's a very simple game."Or is it?Sometimes the formula used to reach the desired game situation can get more than a little complicated. The maneuvering often is hard to explain.

It is said that Baltimore is one of the best baseball towns in America. Unless you're a closer.Around here, closers aren't much different than potholes. They're there to be cursed. And replaced every few years.Gregg Olson was one of the best in the business until his elbow injury in 1993, recording 160 saves before his 26th birthday, but the fans at Camden Yards treated him like he was Bob Irsay's lawyer or something.

No one should be under the impression that state troopers will suddenly flood city neighborhoods once such a pact is signed. That's not going to happen.

Edwards and Republican David E. Duke has sparked national concern over the state of race relations in this country and almost everyone's prognosis is bad.Duke, the former high muckety-muck of the Ku Klux Klan and a founder of the National Association...
